Chapter 235: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth

"Who's coming? Stop now! ”

A reprimand from afar, from the Diao Lou of the Liao military camp, and then, behind the horse rejection deer at the gate of the camp, more than a dozen Liao soldiers armed with knives and guns ran to surround Zhao Liang and the three of them.

Zhao Liang looked at the highly guarded Khitan warriors around him, and said loudly: "My surname is Zhao, and I am the nephew of the Great Song Emperor, Zhao Liang, the Marquis of Lin'an. This time I came to meet your queen mother, and I have important things to tell, please hurry up! ”

The dozen or so Liao soldiers were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect the other party to have such a big tone and posture, and they didn't dare to respond easily for a while. A man who looked like an officer looked at Zhao Liang carefully a few times, and hesitated: "You said that you are the Marquis of the Song Dynasty, do you have any credentials?" In addition, it is getting late at this time, and the Queen Mother and her old man are probably already asleep, and we are not qualified to pass it on to you? ”

Zhao Liang looked up at the moon and asked the other party, "What time is this?" ”

The Liao officer didn't know what he meant, and subconsciously replied: "I just beat the three drums of the wood wolf, according to the hour of your Han people, it should be almost time." ”

"Is it time to do it?" Zhao Liang couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, now there is not much time left for Ye Lujin, the patriarch of the B clan to launch a mutiny, and if he doesn't hurry up to see someone who can speak, not only may history be changed, but Xiaoya is also in danger.

So he said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you think, in short, you have to find your big man for me immediately, otherwise the queen mother and emperor of your country will be in danger!" ”

The officer stared at Zhao Liang suspiciously, not knowing what to do for a while. It is said that the two countries exchanged troops, and someone suddenly broke into the camp on the opposite side, so naturally there was nothing to give him, but Zhao Liang had the courage to come with only two entourages in the middle of the night, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was the royal identity of the Song Dynasty, which suddenly made the guards of the Liao army a little unsure of what to do.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the Diao Tower behind: "Let the envoy of the Song Dynasty come in first!" ”

The Liao State officer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then seemed to recognize the voice that spoke, and hurriedly said to Zhao Liang: "Hand over the weapon, please inside." ”

Zhao Liang and Xiao Feng and Duan Yu followed the Khitan guards, quickly bypassed the horse rejection and deer, and came to the camp of the Liao State. As soon as he came in, a person walked up the upper floor on the left and shouted, "Who are you?" What's the matter with coming here in the middle of the night? ”

Zhao Liang followed the prestige and saw a tall and heroic Liao general walking towards him.

The man looked like he was not yet thirty years old, but he had two sable tails on the armor on his shoulders. Zhao Liang had heard Yang Zongbao introduce before, the sable tail is a special decoration of the generals of the Liao royal family, the palace tent army, and one can already be regarded as the descendant of the Liao lord, and there are two of them in front of him, which is enough to show that his identity is very noble.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liang suddenly felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Zhao Liang, the Marquis of Lin'an in the Song Dynasty, dare to ask the general's honorific number." ”

"Lin'anhou? Yo, it's actually the Marquis? The man smiled and replied, "My name is Han Po Formation, and I am the commander of the flying cavalry of the tent army of the Great Liao Palace. ”

Zhao Liang nodded slightly, and then asked another question: "Eh, please ask, are you loyal to Empress Dowager Xiao?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Liao soldiers around all laughed: Isn't this stupid? Our General Han is not loyal to the Queen Mother, should we still be loyal to your Song Dynasty Emperor?

Han Pojin was also stunned, and then looked Zhao Liang up and down: "Your question is so strange, could it be that there is something wrong with it?" ”

Zhao Liang had already read Han Pozhen's true thoughts at this time, and knew that he was definitely the best friend of Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor, so he put his mind at ease and said hurriedly: "I have an extremely important matter

, it is related to the safety of your queen mother and the emperor, so I visited her at night and made it clear to her. ”

"What is so important?" How could Han Po Array easily believe the enemy's words, and couldn't help but ask, "You tell me about it first." ”

Zhao Liang knew that the other party would not bring himself in so easily, so he approached Han Pozhen and whispered, "The B Department is going to rebel tonight!" ”

As soon as these eight words were spoken, Han Pozhen's pupils immediately contracted, and he shouted, "What credentials do you have?!" ”

"I don't have time to go into detail with you!" Zhao Liang hurriedly said: "I don't need to use this kind of retarded trick to tease you, and it is impossible to threaten the safety of the Queen Mother in such an environment, just see her old man and make everything I know clear, and she will naturally know the severity!" ”

Zhao Liang looked up at the position of the moon again: "Now every time you delay for a minute, the situation will be a little more critical, you can do it yourself." ”

Han Pojin hesitated and said in a deep voice: "If we really have this calamity, wouldn't it be a great thing for you?" Why do you still come here to report? ”

"Because I have one condition," Zhao Liang replied: "I want to use this information to change someone back!" ”

"Who?"

"Commander of the Quick Aid Division, Mu Ling!" Zhao Liang said: "She was attacked and robbed by your scouts tonight, so I rushed to rescue her." Moreover, General Mu is a woman, so you will not be allowed to do anything to bully, otherwise you will ......"

Han Pojin didn't wait for Zhao Liang to finish his threatening words, he turned his head and asked, "Who went out to visit the enemy today?" Are you arresting people again? ”

A general next to him replied: "Tell the Lord Commander, tonight the Relic Langjun did capture a Song Dynasty woman." However, they searched the woman's waist tag and found that her identity was extraordinary. Prime Minister Han had ordered before, but anyone who captured the generals of the Song Army must be treated with courtesy. Therefore, Relic Langjun did not escort her back to the camp tent of the headquarters, but sent her directly to the king's tent to take care of her. ”

Han Pojin nodded and said to Zhao Liang, "You heard it." My father decreed that you would not be humiliated by your companions. Now I will take you to the king's tent, and you will explain it to me clearly on the way, otherwise, you and that Mu Ling, and even your two attendants, will not want to leave here alive. ”

Zhao Liang's heart moved when he heard this: Prime Minister Han? Damn, could it be that the father of the young general in front of me is Han Derang, a famous Han minister of the Liao State and later named "Regent"? It's so good, no wonder it's so good, and it's adorned with two sable tails.

Han Pozhen ordered his subordinates to lead a few war horses, and let Zhao Liang and Xiao Feng Duan Yu ride their horses with him, and said casually: "Lin'an Hou, you are lucky, you happened to meet me on patrol, otherwise you won't be able to reach the king's tent even if you wait until dawn." ”

Zhao Liang urged the mount and said with a smile: "I think it should be said that General Han, you are lucky, and you have picked up a credit for saving the driver in vain." As he spoke, he gave a brief introduction to the matter of Guluntai.

Han Pozhen frowned slightly when he heard it on the horse, and his tone became a little heavier: "I do know the Guluntai you said. He is also a noble relative of the B Department, although his position is not high, but he often walks around on behalf of Yelujin. Based on what you say, it seems likely. ”

After saying this, Han Pozhen shouted behind him: "Pass my order, the three thousand iron armor of the Flying Riding Road quickly get up and get ready, and secretly deploy on the periphery of the king's tent area, as long as you see unknown soldiers and horses approaching, immediately intercept them!" ”

One of the subordinates who followed behind answered the "obedience", twitched the horsewhip, and galloped away in the other direction.

Zhao Liang saw that Han Pozhen's reaction was so fast, and secretly praised in his heart: It is really a tiger father without a dog, and he transferred troops without authorization at such a big night and secretly surrounded the king's tent

, once held accountable from above, the crime may not be small. However, Han Pozhen would rather believe that he has something or not, and is willing to risk being killed, and he also has to transfer troops and fortify them first, except for a piece of courage and loyalty, I am afraid there is no better explanation.

Although the Liao military camp covers a vast area, but with the support of the legs, Zhao Liang and the others quickly passed through the dense tent area and came to the core of the entire Khitan camp - the Golden King's Tent.

The huge tent looked twice as big as Zong Zhenzong's imperial tent this afternoon, and the open space in front of the tent was also very spacious, the size of two or three football fields.

Han Pozhen held the reins two hundred steps away from the king's tent, and ordered Zhao Liang and the others to dismount and wait, while he went to the generals of the guards first to see if the queen mother had fallen asleep.

The two brothers, Zhao Liang and Xiao Feng Duan Yu, turned over and dismounted, and waited for half an hour, when they saw a Liao soldier running from afar and shouted: "The Queen Mother has a decree, and Zhao Liang, the Marquis of Lin'an of the Xuan Song Dynasty, will meet you." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Liang hurriedly instructed Xiao Feng and Duan Yu to wait for their good news with peace of mind, and then turned around and walked towards the king's tent with the herald.

At this time, the tent of the King of Liao was still brightly lit, and not far away, you could see many people standing inside. Zhao Liang had doubts in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly think: Damn, could it be that Yelu Jin has already succeeded, and then pretended to pass on the will of the Queen Mother, and let Lao Tzu, the informant, go in and send him to death?

Thinking of this, his heart tightened for a while, and he secretly activated the electric shock chip on his right wrist, ready to take precautions at any time. The herald walked outside the tent first and knelt down on one knee: "Lin'an Hou has arrivedβ€”"

"Please come in!" An old, calm voice came from within the tent.

When the guard at the door heard this, he made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Liang. Zhao Liangwu sank to himself and strode into the king's tent.

Unexpectedly, it didn't matter if he came in, the scene inside startled him on the spot. I saw that in the tent at this time, dozens of Liao officials were standing, including both civil ministers and military generals, as if they were holding a court meeting. On the ground in the middle of the big tent, there were still four or five people kneeling, also wearing the costumes of Khitan nobles, but those people were all tied up with flowers, and their foreheads touched the ground.

A richly dressed and dignified-looking middle-aged woman sat on the throne in front of her, staring at Zhao Liang intently, while the young man sitting next to her was also looking curiously.

Zhao Liang knew that the lady opposite must be the famous strong woman in history, Xiao Yanyan, the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao. The young man next to her was her son, Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu.

"Zhao Liang, Marquis of Lin'an of the Great Song Dynasty, see the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor." Zhao Liang saluted the two people on the throne in accordance with the etiquette of this era.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled slightly, raised her hand and said, "The marquis is very polite." The Liao and Song dynasties fought repeatedly, and each other has long been enemies of the sea of blood, I don't know what the marquis has to do when he visits late at night? ”

Zhao Liang replied calmly: "I came this time to inform the Queen Mother of important news, in exchange for a friend who was captured by your army. ”

"Oh? What is the news that is so important? Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "I can actually work Lin'anhou to come in person, and I have the confidence to exchange it for your friend." ”

Zhao Liang had already read the heart of the Empress Dowager Xiao at this time, and suddenly realized that the few people kneeling on the ground at this time were the Yelujin group who planned to launch a mutiny tonight, and they couldn't help but secretly cry out in their hearts: Damn! It turned out that Empress Dowager Xiao had long known that the Yi tribe had opposing intentions, so she took action in advance and secretly controlled Yelu Jin and others.

This gorgeous anti-coup operation actually concealed even a cronie general like Han Pozhen, and at this time, he was like a fool who took the initiative to send it to the door, and he fell into the mouth of a tiger!
